We’re Alex and Jim. We met working together as visual journalists one hot summer in Phoenix, Arizona. We fell in love making documentaries, kept making them for awhile all over the country (and West Africa), then decided to make movies together forever and got hitched. To put it simply, we love what we do and we love doing it together.

Step 1: Conceptualize the most quintessentially Austin theme a wedding could have. Step 2: Gather the most incredible vendors local to the area to bring the theme to life. Step 3: Find an adorable couple to renew their vows in front of a bunch of strangers. We had so much fun at The Big Fake Wedding Austin!

The Big Fake Wedding Austin 2021

Two brides find their 'happily ever after' in this twisted fairy tale wedding. The vision for this inspiration shoot was anything but traditional – modern touches in a rustic, woodland space turn the classic fairy tale on its head. Tons of candles, moss and twinkly lights bring magic to a gorgeous ceremony site, while a dark jewel tone color palette with gold flatware makes for an elegant and unique tablescape. Our brides share a dance in a romantic courtyard for a dreamy end to a beautiful night.

Twisted Fairy Tale at Rambling Rose Ranch

This styled shoot was SO. MUCH. FUN. When there's citrus and bright colors, vintage cars and photo booths, a happy real couple and outstanding venue... how could you not have a blast?

Bright and Fun Wedding Inspiration at The Preserve

If there were ever any doubts that Lone Star Oaks could be anything but rustic, those are gone. This romantic styled shoot was boho modern at its finest. We could not get enough of the florals, head table or these amazing models!

Boho Modern Dream at Lone Star Oaks

This styled shoot was nothing short of a blast! If you love pink like we do, you'll want to watch over and over to see how all these amazing vendors truly achieved 50 shades at the glorious Woodbine Mansion in Round Rock!

50 Shades of Pink at Woodbine Mansion

This styled shoot had a modern boho feel with a beautifully subtle color palette at the stunning Villa Antonia just outside Austin, Texas.
